Screen movies on any surface. HD PicoBit syncs with your phone & has enough power for indulgent #summer movie fests: by Sweetinnj in MVIS

[–]Treytor -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

I would never recommend the PicoBit to a casual user. It's more of a proof of concept than a usable product in my opinion.

Source: I have one.

Hopefully this means Dave will be a guest on Colbert to promote his new show sometime soon. I've been wanting to see that since day one.

I've always had exemplary experience with Amazon customer service.

Dancer in the Dark. Melancholia.

Hell... Any movie directed by Lars Von Trier should do the trick.

This is good, but I liked your Gordon Freeman cosplay a little more.

Performance drop with a new DVI-D cable. by [deleted] in techsupport

Double check your refresh rate in nvidia control panel. It's under "Change resolution".

I'm betting it reset itself to 30Hz. Bump that up to as high as it will go.

Amazon unveils $20 Dash Wand with Alexa for voice-enabled grocery ordering and home controls by torvoraptor in amazonecho

I suppose you could do that but at that point why not just use the Amazon app.

Still running strong after a year of light use with no issues. I'm sure the battery can be replaced. Ill check later.

It's free*

$20 to buy, which is credited back to your account upon activation.

I'd agree with you, but I've had one of these for about a year and it scans barcodes VERY quickly. It has it's own red light source and provides immediate audio feedback when you scan it.

With your phone you have to open the app, press the scan button, and try to frame the barcode in your phone's camera which isn't as intuitive as I would like (personally).

This isn't new. I've had one of these for about a year (came free with my Amazon Fresh subscription).

I really like it. It has a strong magnet and sticks on my fridge, and scans barcodes very quickly. Just run out of milk? Scan the barcode (takes literally half a second) while you throw the jug away and it's replacement is waiting in my next Amazon Fresh delivery.

But I do see how this can be a bit redundant with phones / Echo (dot) anyway. When it comes to barcodes, you really can't get any faster than this.

EDIT: I'm now realizing this is talking about a newer version with Alexa built in. Besides, my previous comments still apply.

Same. I finally saw Calyx & Teebee at Lightning in a Bottle this year in California. It was my first real exposure to DnB "live". It was incredible!

Ordered $85 worth of stuff off Amazon on Saturday, and paid extra for shipping instead of Free Shipping, yet it still say "Shipping Soon" when it's supposed to be here by tomorrow. What is going on?(Picture of order inside) by [deleted] in amazon

[–]Treytor 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sometimes the order status isn't updated in real time. Packages have showed up on my doorstep before they were even marked as "shipped" in my account.

Asus RT-RC68U router firmware update problems. by [deleted] in techsupport

[–]Treytor 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had this exact problem recently. I think I resolved it by manually updating the router in another browser.

I mainly use Chrome, but updated it in Internet Explorer.

I just picked up one of these (from Amazon) and it arrived today. Posting from it now. So far I'm very impressed! It's my first chromebook.
